Families can receive up to 15 hours a week per child of free pre-k and families will be matched with one of their top 10 preferred providers in April and July. Children and families who meet low-income requirements can get up to 30 hours a week for free. After a bumpy rollout of the registration last year the state is changing the enrollment process. Families who register will be matched with one of their top 10 preferred providers in April and July. Families with a child already at a preschool can pre-register for the same school. That registration process starts on Thursday.
